The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 2 different chords appear 21 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The opening Dbmaj7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Dbmaj7, Cm7 carry the song: IVmaj7–iii7 relative to Ab, VImaj7–v7 relative to Fm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. It closes on Cm7, letting the Ab side have the last word.
